… next time I won’t let slip my mind to take more pictures, but just being there with mom was the best part.

… and no, an onion is an onion, you don’t eat onions like apples, even the sweet Walla Walla ones, at least not any that I’ve tried, and I tried to do that myself right in the heart of Walla Walla during the onion festival…

Password:

1 onion (maybe 2 bunches of green onions?)

1 tbsp cumin (ideally fresh, but can use dry)

1.5 tbsp chili powder

1 tsp oregano (again, preferably fresh, but could use dry)

(I might be able to graciously acquire some fresh basil from my old and possible current home, this recipe originally doesn’t call for it)

19 oz can black beans drained, rinsed, and roughly pureed

.25 cup fresh parsley chopped (can take out if needed, especially if adding basil or some other fresh spices I will joyously procure hopefully)

2 tbsp sesame oil

1/2 cup roasted/chopped almonds (maybe go with alternate fancy nut for the hell of it, something comparable to almonds, but not bitter (i.e. not walnuts, well, maybe walnuts.  Yeah, walnuts, roasted walnuts?)

1 cup sunflower seeds, roasted/chopped (again, maybe a substitution of some kind of couscous or something crazy… will try crazy substitutions for regular ones after first testing regular substitutions, so remain sunflower for now…)

3 cups fine bread crumbs

half cup soy sauce

5 eggs

2 cups grated carrots

2 cups oats

flour for dredging if using pan fry, else just saute onions and garlic, let cool, and remaining ingredients.

If you aren’t living in love, then you are living in fear. If you believe you can live without both, if you have fooled yourself into believing there is a third choice, then perhaps more than perhaps you have not yet been opened to the infinite, and you cannot yet live without your fear.

We humans are being tested. We are being tested by ourselves. We have immense power. At the same time, we are not yet free from fear, both power and fear reside within us. We are waging war on ourselves, we believe our power will defeat our fear. But I think we are wrong. We will never defeat anything. There is nothing to defeat. We merely have to let fear leave us. When fear leaves us, we will love. And when you love, and you have had your power, there is no end to the infinite love our humanity can share with itself.

But today, we only share fear. And we fight for power.

We do not see the tree, we do not see that we are all leaves of the same tree. All of this, it is one thing. We are all the same.

Not we are special. Not we are unique. Not we have the power.

Even though, yes, we do have the power, but we also have the fear. Deeply seeded fear. Fear so deep that we fool ourselves into believing we are separate from the earth.

It is inside man’s heart that there is nature, and there is self. We did that because we had the power. But we’ve kept the fear, and now we are so powerful, that the test is over. The myth is not a myth, it is the deepest truth we human beings know. Self and other, our bodies and nature.

Everything is all one.

Yet the humans used their unique gift to mistreat everything, everything including themselves. So powerful, yet so blind.

We humans have mistreated life itself, and so this little experiment that the universe conjured is taking its test. Will we survive, and if we survive, what will we make of ourselves, what will we become? What will overtake the human heart, crucible the soul, where does the mind fit into the reason for taking another breath.

Would you poison yourself? Have you ever intentionally poisoned yourself? Yet every single piece of manufactured material we put into the earth, air, and water that cannot be gladly consumed by a truly natural organism is a mark upon our own bodies, and on any body you have ever loved or feared.

I taught myself how to play the guitar with 3 things.  a cd, the album’s tabs book that I bought from a sewing and music store, and my Wayne’s World fender replica guitar.  I think I hear that Nirvanian.
